Application l'e December 28. 1914.

T 0 all 107mm it may concejo Be it knovvnthat we, JOHN Svir, a citiz en of the United States, and ALEXANDER Nasr and llamemos BANDURAY, subjects of the King of Hungary, all residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of- New York, have invented new and useful improvements in Toilet-Seat Covers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to toilet seat covers and is designed to loe used in conjunction with our device described in our application for Letters Patent on a hygienic toilet seat, filed July 7, 1914, Seriai #SfiQAOL lts ohject is to provide a device for the protection of toilet seats and especially for such as are covered with paper, from being urinated upon or otherwise soiled or infected while not in use.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure l is a side elevation of our device applied to a toilet scat. Fig. 2 is a plan view and Fig. 3 a partly sectional, partly elevational vieW of the saine, the latter on an enlarged scale, only a fraction of the device heine,r shown. Fig. 4 is a detail view on an enlarged scale.

Throughout the several views the saine reference character is applied to the same part.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 4 is a howl of a toilet having hinged to its rear end a pair ot seat. sections 5 connested at the 'bottom of their fore ends by a tie-member 5, covered by a strip of paper each. To the outer longitudinal edges of these seat sections 5 are hinged a pair of covers 6 ot' the same shape as the seat sections 5, by means of hinges 7,7.eontaining springs tendingr to close the covers G down on the seat sections 5.

0n top of each cover 6 near the outer edges thereof and at about the middle of their length are provided eyelets S to whichl are fastened cords 9 running' from the eyelets over a pair of guide rolls l0 mounted on suitable brackets il. The other ends oi the cords 9 are each fastened to one of a pair of rods 12 rigidly attached to a treadle Specification of Letters Patent.

or bridge 13 placed in front of the looivi 4, slightly slanting from the hovvl toward floor. pair ot springs li supports bridge in said position. The bridge 13 has a portion in the center of its frontpart cut avvabv, affording sutiicient space for the feet of a person wishing to urinate only, not sitting doivn on the seat. lf a person Wishes to use the seat. he has to step on the ends ot' the bridge. n'herehjv 'the saine will he pressed doivn and the mechanism oonnected therewith will raise the tivo covers oi the seat-sections, as is obvious from the drawing. The springs contained in the hinges 7 will cause the covers to shut down again when the bridge iviil he relieved of the weight ot the person standing on saine, the weight of the bridge itseln being iiited by the springs let.

It is understood that .vhile We have thus shown and described the preferred form of our invention, ive do not ivant to he iirnited to its mechanical details, but may resort to sueli alterations and modifications which come within the scope of the claims `nere-.into appended.

Having: thus described our invention, what ive claim is:

l. The combination with paper Covered toilet seats comprising; tivo separate seat sections. or' lateraliy openingr covers secured Vto said seat sections, adapted to protect the paper coveringr on said seat sections Whiie leavingr uncovered the space comprised he tween the inner edges of said seat sections,
